Safety Gas Detection

Safety Gas Detection manufactures and installs permanently fixed systems for monitoring gas levels. We provide a total solution which can include a no obligation site survey, risk assessments as well as hardware installation. With an impressive warranty package and dedicated ongoing support, you can be sure your investment is in safe hands.

Gas alarm systems monitor the abnormal presence or depletion of a range of gases. Most common systems we supply provide alarms for Oxygen depletion / enrichment, Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). We also cover Refrigeration gases as well as other Hydrocarbons, Flammable and Toxic gases. All of our systems can monitor more than one gas and can cover multiple areas of buildings.

Our Gas Detection systems are supplied ready configured and tested for your application ensuring simple installation. Units are manufactured in our factory in the UK.

Specifying Consultant? If you are an engineer or designer looking to specify a system, contact us and we can supply you a tailored draft specification to adapt into your own document.

Typical IllustrationOur systems are designed utilising materials and components which are ideal for a wide range of environments, with specific design features for Manufacturing and Laboratory environments. Our most common enquiry is for Oxygen Alarms for users of liquid or gaseous Nitrogen who need to detect Oxygen Depletion for personnel safety. We also provide systems monitoring for a range of gases, and bespoke manufacture systems for specific applications such as refrigerant leak detection to meet the F-Gas regulations and BS EN 378 which was updated in 2008.

5th Jan 2009 - Safety Gas Detection roll out our new entry level 'lite' systems, which combine many high specification features, but at very cost effective prices. Systems can accept up-to 8 sensors, and uses a 4 line LCD text display for information. Systems still incorporate industrial grade electronics as with all our products, and therefore offer excellent reliability and of course our 5 year warranty.

24th July 2008 - Safety Gas Detection can offer systems with internet connectivity, enabling us to dial into your system in the event of an alarm, and providing SMS text messages and e-mails to your key personnel. This means we can advise in real time from our office the gas level in your risk area without any personnel needing to go to the system touch screen interface - ideal for applications where buildings are not occupied 24/7, or where it would be unsafe to enter the building.

How do the systems work?

Gas alarms are triggered when the levels of gas measured reach alarm levels. Gas concentration is continually measured by sensing points distributed around the risk area, which provide the central control system with accurate readings. Alarm levels are set so that indication can be provided to key personnel via the control panel of a potentially unsafe situation, coupled with Alarm Beacons which are usually provided to ensure all risk areas are covered with a clear signal to personnel.

Systems can also switch on ventilation, shut down gas supplies and provide signals to your other systems, including e-mailing and text-messaging (SMS) key individuals. Our Web Remote Access option allows our team to dial into your system from our offices to assist with alarm activations in real time. Gas levels are recorded (data-logged) to memory which can be recalled at a later date for analysis on a PC.

The systems are highly visual using a colour touch screen display, showing with simple coloured indication the safety status of your monitored areas on the control panel. Whilst using highly complex monitoring software, the systems do not require user input, and run extremely reliably 365 days per year. An annual maintenance and calibration check is all that is usually required for the system to function for many years.
